The Galactic Arcade [v3]

Yup. Couldn't resist the opportunity to make an attractive female character (you get to customize your character).

Meant to mention this earlier, but Euro Truck Simulator II updated recently. Several new cities were added to the Eastern map expansion DLC. A new feature was also added to the GPS to let you reprogram your route, especially helpful for exploration. I've also used it shave time of runs as the GPS appears to be preferences towards highways, but if you're willing to push it, you can often go quicker on backroads or cut through cities.

Meanwhile on Train Simulator, videos have been released previewing the upcoming release of TS2016's new assets. The brand new 1950's Riviera Line features water troughs (allowing you to refill a locomotive's tender on the fly) and a nice selection of steam locomotives, in both pristine and weathered conditions. The weathered locomotives also have modified physics to make them harder to drive. The route's locomotives also have an optional feature to help train you how to drive them properly by highlighting the right controls to hit.

The other asset that I'm really excited about is the Union Pacific Third Generation Turbines. The video reveals that the locomotive has been scripted by the now highly acclaimed Smokebox, who has put out the incredibly realistic UP FEF-3 Steam locomotive add-on. Disappointingly, the add-on has quiet horns and bells and the scenarios appear to be set in the modern day, though perhaps under the pretense of Union Pacific having restored one of the surviving turbines.

So I was watching this video of Nerd3 playing Mad Max (which looks awesome and I want to buy if I get a PS4 (could get it on PC, but yeah, I doubt my laptop would run a game like that...)).

Anyway, I'm not really here to promote Mad Max (even though it does look awesome and stuff), I'm here about the announcement at the start of the video.

Nerd3 is apparently nominated for a Golden Joystick Award (he's not going to win unfortunately since it's a popularity vote and PewDiePie is also one of the nominees ). So yeah, that's cool too, but also not really here for that bit either.

What I am here for is the fact that if you do vote, you can receive Bioshock: Infinite...for one dollar.

Yeah. $1.00.

I think you also get special offers for the other two Bioshock games, but yeah, one dollar.

Now, I have $1.18 in my Steam Wallet, so I thought this would be a good way to spend that dollar, but it looks like you don't pay for the game through Steam... I'll probably vote anyway and also see if it's possible to pay for it through Steam because Bioshock is an insanely good series.

But anyway, I thought I'd mention this since it's a pretty awesome deal.

Goddammit PewDiePie

Welp, I went ahead and voted, got a voucher code, and yeah, it's on another site called Green Man Gaming and not Steam... You get the game through Steam (had to link my account to the site (which I hope I don't regret doing later...)), but you have to pay for it with a credit card/paypal...

Isn't Infinite the one where you are a Big Daddy?

Pretty sure it isn't.

*looked at the store page*

Geez... that looks epic. So which one am I thinking of? Also has Markpiler done a Let's Play on any of the games?

I know Nerd3 did a video on Infinite. That's where I first became interested in the series.

Here is said video:

Also trying out the demo for the first Bioshock really made me want to get it.

*goes off to play Train Simulator 2015, but this time to develop a scenario instead of play one*

Pikmin 4 has been announced. I would send a link but I found it on mobile, soo....

guess you got stuck...just cause

FREE WEEKEND ON STEAM WITH SAINTS ROW!!!

Now to pick one..... Only 3 and 4 are available to play this weekend, and I'll probably go with 3 since I hear it's slightly better.
